For FREE!!! At mere asking! or even forceful command!

PHIPEX:
Legends. Nigeria is a perfect and global biggest example of why Nations fail.

Imagine burying the enormous talents of your citizens you could have gotten for free because you dont like who produced them, then you and your generations continue to buy from strangers thousands of miles away for decades?

No be today these leaders begin dey mumu! Imagine if they have sense...they could have made this ma build more designs and Blueprints!

mrvitalis:
UNN was originally banned from offering Chemical engineering for 50 years because of this man lmaoo

For their mind they banned chemical engineering lmaoo😂😂 let me not say more than that

I served in Kogi state... till I leave the shores of Nigeria, I continue to curse the leaders of Nigeria...

If you see what Soviet union built there....and former East Germany (FDR). Buhari knows so much about that project that is why he always make reference to helmuth Kohl.

The Blast furnace is the best of its kind...the Housing is so unique that its too modern for an African country back then.

wetin cause the quarrel I was told was that the Russians favored using eastern sea port...a dredge of River Niger through Idah, Onitsha straight to Port Harcourt and the Atlantic.

the British thought it was a trick to compete with them and take out the new oil & gas reserves....na so two western quarelll quarelll take stop a project we paid part of our own deal ohh! Foolish leaders, quietly keep quiet dey watch like mumu.

The Soviets saw first hand the bravery of the Biafrans, and really wanted a foothold....opting for eastern ports instead of Western one in Lagos!

mrvitalis:
I don't even want to start the story long read why the ajoakuta steel plant failed

Read while they allowed the only aluminum smitting complex in nigeria fo rot away because they didn't want to dredge a particular river...

I have always said Nigerians attempt to held igbos down have lead to Nigeria holding its self down

The best known deployment of the ogbunigwe unguided rocket was what became known as the "Abagana Miracle' It was deemed a miracle because the Nigerian 2nd division under gen Murtala was given a 6000 strong men, and armour vehicles, sharp fresh western weapons and tasked to over run the Biafran territory linking up Col Benjamin Adekunle, aka Black scorpion. One of late Black scorpion son is my friend today, no hard feelings.
The Nigerian 2nd div had more weapon than the entire biafra army or what remains of it. They started from Onitsha, after gaining access from Idah in Kogi State, wihich they captured after he 3rd attempts.....but they were never to reach or link up with Adekunle in Port Harcout or even reach Uli/Ihiala.

From what Wikepedia wrote, you will quickly realized that no be today NA begin dey burn civilain areas as well as looting what they can loot.

Here's how Wikepedia puts it!

Abagana ambush
The Abagana Ambush (March 31, 1968) was an ambush during the Nigerian Civil War by Biafran troops led by Major Jonathan Uchendu that wiped out the Nigerian 2nd Division. Of the 6,000 Nigerian troops ambushed, only a very small number survived, including the 2nd Division's commander, General Murtala Muhammed.

Background
On 4 October 1967, the Nigerian Army's 2nd Division began bombarding Onitsha and continued the assault for eight days, before a 10 boat armada crossed the Niger River into the city. The occupying Nigerians didn't pursue retreating Biafran soldiers and instead opted to loot and burn the Onitsha market to the ground. The Biafran 11th and 18th Battalions under Major Joseph Achuzie and Col. Assam Nsudoh formed a pincer and attacked Onitsha from two directions, capturing and killing most Nigerian soldiers.

In December 1967 the Nigerian 2nd Division and the 6th Battalion crossed the Niger River at Idah (Kogi State) and began making their way towards Onitsha, finally capturing the city after several attempts. The Nigerian Forces now intended to link up the 1st Division at Enugu with the 2nd Division at Onitsha. To this end the Nigerian 2nd Division moved out towards Enugu, in a long convoy supported by armored cars, on the 31st day of March 1968.

Ambush
On 31 March 1968, a convoy consisting of 106 vehicles belonging to the Nigerian 2nd Division transporting 6,000 soldiers, as well as armour from Onitsha to Enugu was ambushed and decimated in the town of Abagana by a small unit of Biafran soldiers led by Major Jonathan Uchendu.

Homemade Ogbunigwe rocket missiles were launched by the Biafrans at a tanker truck carrying gasoline which caused an enormous explosion destroying many of the convoy's armoured vehicles and killing a large number of Nigerian troops. 350 tons of Nigerian Army equipment were destroyed or captured by the Biafran troops. After the rocket attack the Biafran soldiers opened fire on the convoy with small arms fire killing many more Nigerian soldiers. it was during this ambush that the Nigerian army suffered the heaviest single loss in the civil war.

Aftermath
The successful ambush at Abagana gave both Biafran soldiers and civilians hope in the war as well as temporarily halting the Nigerian advance into Biafran territory. General Murtala Muhammed was relieved of his command and never commanded a division again.

In his own words, Uchendu said the sight of the convoy almost paralyzed his troops. His boys were so anxious to start firing, more out of panic than anything else. He asked them to remain calm until he gave the command. He allowed much of the Nigerian 2 Division convoy to pass through. His boys were shocked why he would allow them go through into the Biafran held zone. They were nervous and suspicious, yet they trusted his military gallantry and so awaited to know his strategy. He said they concluded that the war was over, but as brave soldiers, they must fight to the last!

As he was guiding the soldier with the rocket launcher on what to do to the invading convoy and when best to strike, the soldier accidentally pressed the trigger, letting go of the rocket. Luckily, he hit a fuel tanker. The tanker exploded and threw its contents onto a nearby armour carrier setting everything ablaze, causing multiple explosions.

In panic, soldiers who already crossed over into the Biafran line ran in different directions in total confusion. The Biafran soldiers attacked. They radioed the regular troops and they joined in the attack. When Uchendu learned that Muritala Muhammed was with the convoy and somewhere in Nawfia, he set off hurriedly to capture him but was late as Muritala was sighted taking off with a helicopter.

Absolutely....

As well as research centers encouraging indigenous innovations that all them SE governor must be forced to fund and patronize.

kettykin:
I am thinking if there should be something like an ogbunigwe day to be celebrated with talk shows and seminars that will sho the millennials and GENZ what their grandparents and great grandparents where able to achieve in the battle field against the atrocious Soviet union, Egypt, British empire, Arab world, Niger,Cameroon Chad and other enemies of Biafra

May the wicked be wiped out!

Some of the manuscripts my dad savaged from the war was stolen in 2014.... especially the efforts put in place by CARITAS and one Scandinavian aid group flying in dried cod fish under risky conditions.

The person wey steal those books fit don go sell am give abokis for suya. Detailed entries, that should be in the archives in a museum today!

kettykin:
I overheard and read in LinkedIn how these legends in more than 50 years age refined palm oil and used it to run fighter planes , built mobile refineries amd built radios. Maintained and built spares for machineries, engines , cars , aeroplanes etc and I wonder why Biafra failed for a good for nothing satanic entity that has no meaningful achievement except electing a useless drug mule to presidency.
May God curse all the enemies of humanity . May they be wiped of the face of mankind, like the Titanic , may they sink and never rise

For the Gen z who might not know what Ogbunigwe is...here below are some of the pictures these indigenous innovations. By now, since Russia ran out of bullet shells in its war in Ukraine, maybe na we for dey supply Putin bullets... No hard feelings bro!

This is the mindset of the West, we are not going to keep people, but you meant to do it, we will be too glad to sell you weapons in return for USd or your natural resources.

Imagine us in a position where we can sell mercenaries to Russia or Ukraine in return for technology in some fields like Agriculture.

Any day these clowns come online to praise eleveted agberos like Oluomo I feel like..well

Tips about the Ogbunigwe unguided rocket:
It's short range, military grade rocket system based on Basic projectile principles which used Calculations of range, height and Distance to lob its payload into enemy positions. It's highly mobile, moveable and easily assemble, which means it can be moved from one front to another. The propeller or engine is a secret lost in the war.

For those who knows a little about the Igede, ogene and other mysterious Igbos iron works, I heard, its main frame was built using well refined iron pieced together from Ogene gongs. that is why we say, the Ogene is spiritual.

The backwardness experienced today is self inflicted...because, the principle of Natural Science is as is in Berlin as well as in Rome, same as in Enugu, Onitsha, Daura or Ogbomosho! It's one damn law that is same everywhere!

If you prepare your Professors to be election riggers like Prof yaks, you can imagine the kind of society you will get: One where Oluomo and drug bagmen are celebrated instead of genuine men who fule development via real productive means!

Back then, you become a Professor due to ground breaking research and development journals in your field you author, but today, professor is as a result of which Daddy GO or mummy GO you are affiliated to, or more directly how willing and prepared you are to rig elections!

Africans will truly rise when the Black Master tribe, the Aryans of africa left to take their rightful place!

After second world war ended, The US, Soviet, France, Britain all made a mad dash to strip Germany & what remained of the Japanese empire all its best brain and well documented blueprints. If you are a research Chemist like me, you will quickly understand that Blueprints are the exclusive preserves through which foundations are built for further development..

The Japs were renowned as the best in Marine, ship building technology of its time...spewing out huge behemoths like like Yamato...the largest of its kind then, the Akira and several other monsters of the deep ocean. I don't even want to talk about he the zeros built Mitsuibishi.... after the war, the occupying power, the Us & allies stole much of the blueprints especially in area of engine designs and the calculations that make it possible, in return to build Japan beyond their widest dream. Both parties kept to the deal. Japan today is so develop, and secured as well because, there is US pacific fleet ready to unleash terror on any rogue nation, plus a high salert division of Marines stationed at Okinawa Japan!

Germany...the king of innovations and qualtiest of products were tnot spared the poaching! Now, the Germans were the first in almost everything modern. it was even its Jewish scientist who exiled themselves to US that helped the US build the first A-bomb used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those guys were the first to understand the monstrous power buried in atoms. What happened next? The blueprints were stolen, sized and the scientist coerced into interpreting them. in return for making Germany developed and safe again. Now both parties kept to the terms of the agreement.

Fastforward 25 years later...... a black nation got itself enguilf Ed in civil strife, which then lead to a war. The super powers having superior knowledge of the Oil & gas reserves, and also knowing the mistake they made by allowing the Japanese learn their technology in 1800s, promptly sided wirth the less endowed side; Nigeria. They kept a healthy supply of arms, logistics equipments, strategies, diplomacy and all , 2+ years later, the Biafran side fell. Now, the then leader of Nigeria, Gowon promised a No Victor, No Vanquish end of war. with these I was told should assimilate the Igbo scientists that made cutting edge developments in three areas:
1. Arms manufacturing: Biafra was the first Black nation to indigenously design, tested and mass produced an unguided rocket, named Ogbunigwe, and also a close related anti personnel contact mine. Those scientist that made these happens later exiled these selves, some became teachers instead of research titans like this here super genius Prof Felix Oragwu!
2. Construction: Biafrans waere the first black nation to design and build from scratch Airport run ways and airstrips entirely up to military standards of europeans in 1960s.... Uli Airstrip comes to mind, including its accompanying infrastructures such as RADAR and Air traffice control systems made from Radio components.
3. Refinery: The Biafrans were the first black nation to refine crude oil with out the accompanying need for a huge Refinery complex, not done...when Port Harcourt and its sources of crude were captured by Uk military coached 3rd marine commando Division led by Black scorpion, and later, Obj, the Biafran scientist switch to non-catalytic refining, opting instead to refine palm oil into fine blends that could power car & airplane engines!

What have we learned. Blacks are as black in heart as their skin.

Japan killed more Americans without provocation during peace time, yet they respected each other after war, and work together to make their countries better. Americans still respect Japanese products as far superior than Americans because that is exactly what it is! Can we say that for a black country? No!
The Germany subjugated the whole Europe into its Lebensraum, amidst a gruesome war, but after the war, Europeans respect the Germans as truly Aryans because that is what they are! What can we say about the tiny, dot country called Biafra that fought cold war enemies at a time, including their local Nigerian allies? Your guess is as good as mine! While you foolishly thrown Igbo tautrams up and down, on empty stomach. Know this and know peace, it could have been better if you have a powerful, well developed free country beside you than living together in squalid conditions!

This is Professor Felix Oragwu, 90 yrs old.

He was the head of Biafra Research and Production (RAP), the Biafran equivalent of Manhattan project, tasked to locally produce war materials that would overwhelm the enemy. Him & his team developed Ogbunigwe; world's first unguided rocket entirely built by a black nation with help from a white country as far back when UK lies in ruin and Frenchmen were suffering malutrition, and successfully processed Palm oil to power jet airplane during Biafra- Nigeria war.

Before you run your gutter mouth, ask your self if Nigeria side actually built anything then, and even now?Do you ever wonder why Nigeria buried these inventions after the war?

Last year, Indonesia celebrated successful processing of palm oil to power airplane, this is a feat this man Prof Felix Oragwu and his team achieved 56 years ago.

G-d bless the Igbos!

There is a reason why he is the C-in-C.... a shady leader cant do it. Na this wan wey he foot soldiers na Oluomo, naim want do am?

Nicenixon:
It is easier said than done. The president can't do it alone.

The greatestt impediment I think will be from the people...not even the leaders.

Those jogod guy who like dashing across major high ways instead of using over head bridge.

that lazy girl who would rather tie up trash in nylon and toss it into open drainage.

That hurry hurry who will not want to stay at the queue at passport office.

That fake pasta who would like to buy private jet from sources that could be describe as Non profits... the list goes on and on!

Throwback:
You have spoken like a true patriot.

Your bold recipe to solving some of the problems we have as a country, resonate well with mine.

But the same Nigerians you want to do all these for would be used to mount a barricade on the streets and calling for the end of your "draconian" regime.

Because a full generation donot know what is called corrupt free society! These are all easy stuffs to do if a squeaky clean leader leads, and a willing follower ready to adjust to corrupt free society...

That means those little nonsense a lot of y'all are fond of doing, like leaving the over head bridge and just dashing across the road can get you suspended jail terms! Go Lagos, see 80% of the population behaving like mad animals....

Are you ready to behave like a normal human? If yes, then it is easy!

kingkelvin2033:
Just like that? Easier said than done. If Tinubu did this, how many people will complain of joblessness? What will the PDP say? What will the Labour party and the followers of Peter Obi say?

Ordinary to remove subsidy and free the naira from speculators. He becomes T-Pain and Yorubas "ebinpawa".

Until you get to that seat, you won't know bad things really are. The job of the nigerian president is a job I wouldn't wish even for my enemy. Best may be a senator.

There is a CLEAN UP operation and there is a BUILD UP operation. Successive governments from 1999 cannot BUILD on the decay and rottenness of 22 years of oppression and wastage of the military regime. They are still cleaning up. If you are a realist, you will give Nigeria another 50 years before it can reach the level of its cousins, Singapore and India. Anybody that doesn't like it should travel to wherever he likes. Or stay and be a part of the story of change, progress and development. No matter how slow it may be.

No...all it takes is a squeaky clean leader everyone trusts, and a willing citizen ready to adjusts to a corrupt free Nigeria! If you don't break the law, you have no business with the police run by the military, or the Judiciary run by the military court... If you use the civil services, you will wait on the queue and give no bribe....

Is this too much of a problem to endure for six months

lionshare:
This is only possible under a dictatorship!

The first time I realized that Nigeria can work was when a baby I know off, born abroad in a common area country, and needed a passport so he can cross back and get a resident permit in he country his parents resides, it was done together with a new NIN within one week. that was early this year!

I was like what? So its this easy, was it because of the payment was in USD?

Here now, is some fellow getting his within 26th hours!

A serious president will first of all sack the Police force, give the Army control over internal; policing for 6 months while a new band of patriotic police force is recruited and and trained among all cadre.

Sack all lower to middle cadre members of the civil service. hand it over to a new set of contractors for six months while a new set of civil service is recruited and trained. Every one who had earlier worked can not be reemploy. They should go start a farm! Or any side hustle or work as contractors etc.

Disband the entire judiciary and hand over all civil matters to a Military court, while a new set of NJC and its judges and members are recruited and trained. for six months. All former employees are not allowed to work. If caught forging credentials to get employed...life imprisonment.

Within 1 year, Nigeria will be the most corrupt free country on earth

The problem of Nigeria lies in these three set of people.....Both politicians and the ordinary corrupt Nigerian needs one or all of these three to do wrong and get away with it!

Good one!

Zims behave a lot like The Igbos....the new president of Botswana recognized this and promised to make resident permit easy for them. With Botswana resident, them no born South Africa not allowing them cross border.

While the our people from across the West behave a lot like South Africans....envious and backbiting once they know you don't have like their charater

descarado:
A Zimbabwean friend was happy kemi was elected.
Asked her why, she said as lo g as she has a black skin. That it's a message. She then asked why we are attacking her. Asked her what she meant.
She said we are asking for slavery money as if to say it's only Nigeria that was colonised or sold into slavery. Uk was colonised for donkey years. Other countries don't cry wolf about slavery and colonialism like we do. As if when gi even money our politicians won't share it.
We can o ly shut colonial masters up by developing more than them and compete with them internationally.
Well, your people love the big life. They use every minute to show their presence everywhere and they are hardly united here.

I was with 2 Nigerians. Na so we dey look her as she waka pass like she didn't say anything.


Zimbabwean of all people telling us the truth about naija.
Hmm.

Make una leave Keminwachukwu. Which kind bad belle be this? THese people self, no shame....tufiakwa!

Thanks

DaddyCoool:
See it below

(It will upload in a minute)

Are you serious? Omooo... I need to spend some time today watching News from Itar tass

DaddyCoool:
Don't forget this below - Putin suddenly announced that Russia is NOT abandoning US dollar after all!

Houhtis own shock me! Can you imagine the small ynash shooting high school physical era scud missiles unprovoked to Israel saying and declaring cease fire without been asked?

Omooo Mazi Donald J Trumpchukwu na man you be!

Without been asked....Qatar has sent Hamas team hiding in Doha packing! Boyyyyyy this is not a good time to be a terrorist at Hamas organisation biko

Faber:
Trump is a guy who will tell you... " Hey I will hit you in your blokos someday..." 😂😂😂

And he will surely do it ..

That's why all Man are on the run...

On the day he was elected, Gold was bearish for many hours... A lot of my friends, cash out massively...

As a messianic jew, your comment is a welcomed comfort to me. I know that without the AC been revealed, the Messiah will not come.

Now, let me shock you with some truths: The AC will not come from the West, but from the ME. The region where the AC will form his kingdom from is well mentioned in the Bible, go and read it. Babylon is not the same as AC kingdom....Babylon will be burnt by fire, by nukes I think!

NaijaCowFarm:
The hallmark of the Anti-Christ ... do not rejoice too soon. He will broker WORLD PEACE and then all will hail him, then BOOM!!!

boom

The fear of Boommmm is the begining of knowledge.... Houhtis small ynash wey dey shake don chuck in!

Unbelievable: Just 48 hours after his victory, Trump hasn't even taken office, and the world is already falling into line. This is a man they called mad! This is a man the global left through their fronts in different countries took turns to disparage, villify and made caricature off! Then, he decided to return fire for fire...his foot soldiers the ever ready, mean and faithful neo--cons, nationalist and evangelicals told him to go for it!

He suffered the disgrace of a mugshot..those type they ought to give the drug bagmen like that werey in Aso Rock or that wire wire turn governor ... Then like a phoenix....he contested still because the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is not a banana Republic where foolish old shameless umpire can change the will of the people without getting shot in the head! That is to say, the judges are nowhere as corrupt as those herein who validated a broad day light heist!

Now, this is the results of the madness they tried to prevent:

The Taliban is now seeking a peace agreement with the United States and has requested removal from the terrorist list.

The Houthis claim their actions were purely defensive and are halting all attacks on ships.

Qatar has informed Hamas leaders they must vacate its territory.

Putin insists that the West is not an adversary.

Hamas is urgently calling for a ceasefire in light of Trump’s win.

Mexico has begun reinforcing its own border with the U.S. to prevent illegal crossings and the entry of terrorists.

In New York, authorities have launched a massive deportation drive for illegal immigrants — the likes of which haven’t been seen in four years.

The Chinese President expressed eagerness to live peacefully with the U.S. and respects the will of the American electorate.

The European Union is urging Trump to usher in a new era of relations and to prioritize buying natural gas from the U.S. over Russia.

Putin emphasized that Trump’s proposed strategy to end the conflict with Ukraine is being taken seriously.

Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies and the stock market are soaring to record highs (Na this one I want implement on our gift card apps coming soon)

People are looking for where to invest (na this new concern me well)

Now that’s what true power looks like. The wicked will call it madness, because they are never ok until they are soaked in blood! Thousands killed in Gaza because they think peace! Thousand killed in Ukrain before they think peace! Most economies in ruin before they think of their own foolishness. This reminds of that old grandpa in Aso Rock who takes orders from the global left without thinking, as they left Zelensky high and dried..na so they go leave you in 2027!

You correct am for one side, he mumu go show up in another form!

Awon ndi leeching....but you still dey leech on your poor mother food. Go work and rent house and feed your self. sitting all day at home pressing phone and supporting foolishness will not help you or your innocent parents joor. Make we start from there first

DomPerignon:
When did that start?

Delta and all SS oil producing states only began collecting 13% during Yaradua's tenure.

Prior to that, every SE state got far more from FG based on population .


You have been leaching on SS longer than you will admit.

As long as the politicians who started the wars are not carrying arms too, or their children or their spouses....no fighting on behalf of cowards...yelling out commands from a bunker!

DystopianMuse:
I OIVE THIS. I WISH I CAN LIKE 1 BILLION TIMES. REASON I SAY I CAN NEVER BE A SOLDIER EXCEPT THE ELITES CHILDREN ARE JOINING US AT THE WARFRONT

I first hand met Ukrainian refugees in Sweden...mehmmmmm many of them are now beggers. They are escaping from been drafted into the war. Even though the Eu tries to integrated them, nothing compare when you are fully earning a livin, and not living on State pitiance

Calitoscassius:
Absolutely! Zelenski had no business being Ukrianian president. He should have stuck with being a comedian...

Even though the Ukrainians voted him as their president. Zelenski ended up a weak confused EU and Biden's butt licker and sarcrified his country and people at the alter of the EU and Biden. They pushed him into unnercerssary war with Russia and now as you rightly said, his friends have gone.


Did you knoe that the EU are still buying gas from Putin even though they are fighting and sanctioned Russia. Zelenski is a fool.

As you should be aware now...Only Delta State gets what five SE states get every month? Compare both.... No dey rush come show your mumu online, na Social media be this!

If you no believe my words, go ask a sitting senator of Nigeria; Ned Nwoko!

DomPerignon:
There's an unwritten agreement between your governors and your people that whatever allocation derived from the federal purse which is gotten mostly from outside the SE is exclusively for the governor to spend and recoup his investment in running for office .

This is why there is hardly any tax regime in Ibo land and at the same time the Ibo populace not holding their governors to account since the money misappropriated by your thieving governors never came out from your pockets or from resources in your states.

The north on the other hand is a different ball game since the Proletariat up there hold their own governors to account over federal allocations but at the same time are not ready to be taxed. This is why the north elects far better leaders than your SE.

For where? Part of the Caveat during application is that express right of entry is not given but contigent on prevailng circumstances......
As I am not a lawyer, the law guys should test it in Canadian courts.

That is why I love the Americans, by now Different courts and judges, Dems & Gop affiliated for don dey test the law against all the Amendment In US Constitution....TRruly Canada is a little better than Mexico!

PulaPower:
Abi..

Imagine the amount of the money they’ve wasted already. Will Canadian government return their money? 😃

Civil war? Wey dare devil pilots from Scandinavian Countries dey fly Okporo and othe relief material on steady steady? My late uncle was a supervisor distributing those stuffs before Uli fall...

I swear on he Stregth of G-d, every pains the Igbos passed during the war, and these years they are sidelined wickedly, must be paid back, flesh for flesh, blood for blood, hunger for hunger!

Kwashiokor never start! As Nigeria is not officially at war, no single relief material will get in!

Bobloco:
The hunger, strife, and starvation ravaging the country under the calamitous Tinubu regime have not been witnessed since independence, not even during the civil war.

Bulablunomics in action!

I pity the Indians there more....Those people japa pass naija own. Infact it will affect the Indians more, as most of them can only run IT hustle or delivery slave jobs...

With Trump in Oval office, omooooooo US-Canadian border will be so full of ICE men. Good luck to those on the useless 10 years visit visa

PulaPower:
Oh ok I gotcha about the corruption..

There’s nothing special about Canada. Normally, Canada was part of USA that the British didn’t concede back to USA after they got done with colonization. Canada did more than themselves hence why things are falling apart for them..

If you’re not a lion, stop trying to form that you’re..
